Hollywood to benefit Texas abortion rights

In the style it so dearly loves, Hollywood is joining the abortion rights fight in Texas.

In what organizers describe as an emergency benefit to help Texas women affected by the state’s new abortion restrictions, Los Angeles entertainers are holding “A Night of A Thousand Vaginas!” Sunday night. Proceeds raised by the event will go toward the Texas Abortion Fund.

The sponsor is a new group, “A Is For,” that bills itself as “an ally and advocate for organizations working to protect reproductive rights.”

The event is being held at the Largo at the Coronet, a popular L.A. nightclub and cabaret featuring comedy and music acts. The performers include comedians Sarah Silverman and Zach Galifianakis musician Josh Homme of the Queens of the Stone Age.

Whatever you think of that line-up, the cause will fill up the 130-seat venue. Tickets priced at $60 to $100 are sold out.
